Jones, Ph.D. Joseph N. Boyer, Ph.D. Southeast Environmental Research Center Florida International University Miami, FL 33199 http://serc.fiu.edu/wqmnetwork/ EXECUTIVE SUMMARY One of the primary purposes for conducting long-term monitoring projects is to be able to detect trends in the measured parameters over time. These programs are usually initiated as a response to public perception (and possibly some scientific data) that “the river-bay-prairie- forest-etc. is dying”. In the case of Florida Bay, the major impetus was the combination of a seagrass die-off, increased phytoplankton abundance, sponge mortality, and a perceived decline in fisheries beginning in 1987. In response to these phenomena, a network of water quality monitoring stations was established in 1989 to explicate both spatial patterns and temporal trends in water quality in an effort to elucidate mechanisms behind the recent ecological change.

How generalist predators parti- tion resources and their mechanisms, however, remain unclear across many ecosystems. We quantified niche partitioning among upper trophic level coastal and estuarine species: American alligators (Alligator mississippien- sis), bull sharks (Carcharhinus leucas), common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus), common snook (Centro- pomus undecimalis), and Atlantic tarpon (Megalops atlanticus) in the Shark River Estuary of the Florida Coastal Everglades, USA using acoustic telemetry, stable isotope analysis, and visual surveys, combined with published diet and life history demographic information. Spatial and isotopic niche overlap occurred among most species, with variability in partitioning among interspecific interactions. However, seasonal variability in habitat use, movements patterns, and trophic interactions may promote coexistence within this resource-limited estuary.
